I've been asking myself for ages why practicing sports is more fun for most
kids than practicing physics? Why aren't students awed by nature and
mentally rewarded for figuring out and understanding that stuff more than
they are for figuring out a video game or 'schooling' their friends on the
basketball court?
That's the question we need to figure out. When we do, then we win!
